Description

At the recent Rural Leaders in Conversation event in the northeast, our podcast host, Jane Craigie, caught up with Rural Leader Donald Boyd.

Donald discusses his 15 years of involvement with Huntly Development Trust (HDT) and the investments it has made, and is making, to ensure the long-term sustainability of the market town, including the purchase of Greenmyres and the erection of a community wind turbine.

The 63 acre rural site, which is owned and run by the community, has been transformed into a recreational and biodiversity destination and is open to the public for walking, cycling and camping with the Ecobothy available for private hire for events, parties and workshops.

Tune in to hear more about what the future plans of HDT are, and the scale of the investments they have made to date.
